Overview

A stand-up comic used her day job teaching traffic school to launch a
training career. The results are nothing to laugh at!
"We may not all be born comedians, but most people are naturally
humorous, says Doni Tamblyn, a comic-turned-trainer whose humorous
techniques bring serious results at clients such as Chevron, Wells
Fargo, and other Fortune 500 companies, universities, and government
entities.

While Laugh and Learn offers plenty to keep smiles on the faces of
trainers and their students, it's not a collection of one-liners and
knock-knock jokes. It's an enlightening and practical look at how
teachers and training professionals can inject elements of
entertainment, creativity, humor, and emotion into their existing
methods, even when dealing with serious or technical topics. Filled with
fun, challenging, and thought-provoking exercises to help readers feel
more comfortable being funny, the book also provides dozens of workshop
activities and techniques to introduce humor into the learning
environment.

Combining the latest brain studies and humor research with the author's
own 23 years of experience in comedy and corporate training, Laugh and
Learn is a fascinating look at what makes learners perk up, pay
attention -- and remember!"
